Runtime: 23:13
Description:

First part of creating a motion graphics title sequence with an Eighties flavor in Adobe After Effects. In this section, Ben Brownlee breaks down the process of creating the master tile, which will be a large part of the finished video. You will learn how to create a neon tube shape out of any mask shape, plus some Boris FX Sapphire filters : S_Zap, S_EmbossGlass and S_WarpPuff.

You will also see how to creating auto looping effects using After Effects Expressions and see some simple code that gives big results. It also makes duplicating layers to build up the effect a breeze.
